There are two questions that need to be answered that are each based off of a story that I will provide in the questions. Each question has to be answered with minimum 250 words and provide great understanding showing that the story is well understood. A quote added in each question would be best. Here are the questions below.
1) How is depression and mental illness dramatized in “Black Dog.” Does Brenda change during the course of the story? How do you explain the story’s conclusion?

2)Social problems such as homelessness, addiction, and poverty affect both people and pets. How does Jonathan Lethem’s story, “Ava’s Apartment,” bring these affected parties together? How is Perkus’ life changed by living with Ava?
